There is a thread here on EM that showed how to use these correctly -- if there is a taper on the rear that is too steep for attached air, then you can install them *just* down the slope (on the radius transition) so they do not add anything to the frontal area, but they can slow the air flow so that it then can remain attached.

I'll look for the thread...
